Apple's method (re: iPhone/iPad) seems to be to design software that doesn't invite learning Could you clarify this, perhaps by comparison to something else? Everything in my experience strongly supports the notion that Apple's general ap

Bullshit. The author even specifically removed text from his quote that undermines his own statements. That text being: " Apple later disclosed the patents under the W3C's royalty-free patent licensing terms. "

"Flash cross-compiled apps on iPhone == Bad" because it's not... open... Neither stated nor implied. The logic doesn't "match up" because it's a separate issue, addressed with different arguments: " We have discussed the downsides of usi

The real issue is that your thesis is flimsy and hinges on selective quoting and ignorance of context. Here is but one example: when Jobs was making those statements about $500 tablets? He wasn't. Here is the original transcript from whic

No no no. I don't care about their motives. ...but... it's hypocritical for Apple to talk about supporting open standards for flash-like functionality, because they don't care about open standards See what I mean? You're saying it's hyp

I understand where the confusion lies now: you're using the word hypocrisy to mean something else. Hypocrisy concerns the relation between statement and action, not motives. What you're pointing to here would be hypocrisy if (for example) A

The actual statement was: "Someone has it backwards--it is HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and H.264 (all supported by the iPhone and iPad) that are open and standard, while Adobe's Flash is closed and proprietary," -- http://news.cnet.com/8301-

The hypocrisy is self evident in both cases It isn't. That's why you were asked to clarify, which you haven't done. I'm even more uncertain of what you mean by all of this. It sounds like you think any company that uses both closed and op

Anyway, why doesn't the OP go to Best Buy or something to get the rest of the iPads? They probably don't have any, and that's important here. Unlike the EEE example, the context here is that the iPad is in short supply. So short that even

You've got to be incredibly naive, or deliberately disingenuous to claim it doesn't sound like a deliberate attempt to slander his competition. I'm sorry you feel that way, but I believe you're wrong in your interpretation. You won't hear

It's only denigrating if you yourself feel that porn is a bad association. If not, it's just stating a pretty reasonable suggestion: if having porn apps is important to you, buy a phone that supports porn apps. Don't buy one that doesn't. T
